This marks nearly the 10th anniversary of the map, which was launched by the owners of East Village Vintage Collective, located at 545 E. 12th St., between Avenue A and Avenue B.
Per an Instagram post this morning:
At that time, we were trying to highlight the stores that were still around, as these types of stores had started to decline. But that sure has changed! And the great thing about vintage, thrift and secondhand is that every store offers something unique.We present the most updated map, which for the first time ever has been sponsored by the East Village Independent Merchants Association. (The folks at East Village Vintage Collective have been printing this map on their own for all these years and are thrilled to have an amazing organization like EVIMA helping out with this run).This map was made out of love for community, small business, art and eco-friendly fashion. And it has always been printed by the wonderful folks at the Source Unltd Printing.
Store owners who want copies of the map in their shops can contact the East Village Vintage Collective (perhaps via Instagram).
